DYK that June 9th is the International Day of Celtic Art?
OTD people who appreciate Celtic art are encouraged to share and display Celtic art with a special sense of pride and purpose.
So I am sharing some of my paintings Celtic Art has inspired me!

A quick tack pin made with one of the new Celtic key pattern washi tapes.
I have been trying to get the colors right for the green variant of my Endless Celtic Knotwork Panel fabric print. I think this is it!

I made a walnut frame for one of my Celtic knotwork frog prints! This frame fits 7cm square prints (the format Open Press Project uses for their exhibitions).

I finally got around to making a Celtic knotwork / interlacing fabric design to go with my Celtic key pattern and spiral designs! Seen here with one of my 42mm d20 chonks.

I finally got a chance to play with my new Open Press Postcard Printing Press! I cut a plate with this new knotwork frog I designed, and got some pretty good results after a little fiddling. After starting on this, I noticed that frogs seem to be bubbling up out of the collective unconscious a lot right now. I wanted to join the Open Press print exchange, but ran out of time to get prints to them. Maybe next year!

Here is a closer view of the third of the new Celtic Art washi tape designs, an extra-wide (45mm) key pattern I refer to as “squared spirals.”

After making hardwood gift boxes for the 20-sided dice I made to give as holiday gifts, I decided they needed an additional wrapping to protect them, and to create a reveal for the wooden boxes.
Of course, since I was making the dice as gifts, I also needed to design and fabricate some fancy hardwood gift boxes. I made some hexagonal boxes on the desktop CNC, and produced silver knotwork medallions for the lids with metal clay.

Welcome to the Enchanted Forest!
This holiday card is my take on a popular origamic architecture/kirigami concept. These are laser scored and cut, then hand folded from the Ice Gold stock I have been using.
